Multicomponent DNA‐templated nanoparticle chains with controllable dimension and composition are fabricated by joining nanoparticle (NP)‐coated DNA fragments with asymmetric sticky overhangs in a specific pattern. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is used to investigate the proton relaxation properties for two‐ segmented multicomponent structures. The position, composition, and the pattern of the NP chains has an influence on proton relaxation.
